Chapter 72: The Zhao Couple

so divided into three different levels: First Stage Elementary, Advanced, and Pinnacle.Just like the previous "Jue Xue Xing He" created by Su Xin, including most of the "Jue Xue" created by Six Step...The Heavenly Flame Empire, encompassing thirty-six states, boasts a vast territory. Within its borders lie some unique and perilous regions as well.

The Blood Sacrifice Mountains, stretching for thousands of miles, is one of the most famous dangerous places in the Heavenly Flame Empire.

Here, is the paradise of monsters.

It is said that the Blood Sacrifice Mountains are home to countless monsters, even those comparable to cultivators in the Void Breaking Realm. There are many such beasts within the Blood Sacrifice Mountains.

There are even rumors that in the deepest part of the Blood Sacrifice Mountains, there lives a top-tier demonic beast comparable to those at the Nirvana Realm.

……

Around the Blood Sacrifice Mountain Range, there are also a large number of human villages or towns. Because it is close to the Blood Sacrifice Mountain Range, there have been many cultivators in the past, and this place is relatively more chaotic.

A town named Dongyue City nestled beside the Xueji Mountain Range, where the Zhao family resided.

"Husband, do you think our family can weather this crisis"

"Don't worry, with your father and older brother here, nothing will go wrong.

A loving couple sits inside a pavilion on the lake, with two maids standing behind them.

This couple, the man is called Zhao Tianrong, he is the second master of the Zhao family, and the woman is his wife, named Chen Yin.

The Ke family offended a dangerous group this time, the Tianhuo Mercenary Corps. They were known as ruthless killers who could take lives without leaving a trace. What if...," Chen Yin's face was filled with worry.

Around the Blood Sacrifice Mountains live numerous mercenary groups. Hired to hunt monsters within the Blood Sacrifice Mountains, they spend their lives on the edge of a blade. When it comes to killing people, they too show no hesitation.

"The Heavenly Fire Mercenary Group has a fearsome reputation, but my Zhao family is not someone to be trifled with," Zhao Tianrong comforted. Though he said it with such confidence, deep down, he wasn't sure himself.

The Zhao family, living on the outskirts of the Blood Sacrifice Mountains, was just a small family.

Although there were two or three Void Breakers within the family, they were all only at the early stage of Void Breaking. However, within that day's Fire mercenary group, there were several strong fighters at the middle stage of Void Breaking.

In their daily lives, the Zhao family would never dare to provoke the Tianhuo Mercenary Group.

Several days ago, members of the Zhao family encountered some hooligans who were bullying people in their own marketplace. A fight broke out between the two sides, and one of the hooligans was accidentally killed.

It was only afterwards that I learned that those scoundrels were from the Tianhuo Mercenary Corps, and the ones killed by the Zhao family happened to be the only son of the leader of the Tianhuo Mercenary Corps.

This suddenly escalated the feud between the two sides.

The leader of the Tianhuo Mercenary Group even declared that within seven days, they would exterminate the entire Zhao family.

Now, it's already the sixth day.

"By the way, Madam, your father didn't leave you a token before he died He said that if you ever encountered danger, you could use this token to find Zhao Tianrong of the Chi Long Building and ask him for help."

"Well, there is such a thing. Three days ago, I wrote a letter myself and had it sent to the Chi Long Tower along with an order. The person in charge at Chi Long Tower received the order and said they would pass my letter on to Chen Yin Dao of the Tian Yan Palace."

"Heavenly Flame Palace Where is that Is it a sect" Zhao Tianrong asked in confusion.

The Zhao family was just a small clan with shallow roots. No outstanding talents had ever emerged from within the family, and even the Red Dragon Tower rarely interacted with them.

As for the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty, all the talented disciples aspire to the first cultivation holy land, 'Tianyan Palace'. This Zhao Tianrong truly doesn't know.

“I don't know either, but my father told me that our Chen family once had a powerful ancestor. Under his leadership, our Chen family was glorious. However, after that ancestor fell, our Chen family declined and is now completely withered. That ancestor, it is said, came from the Heavenly Flame Palace, and that talisman was left behind by him, Chen Yindao.”

When Zhao Tianrong heard this, his heart couldn't help but stir.

The Chen family did indeed have a glorious past, and produced a very famous powerful individual. He had heard of this.

"Madam, the ancestor who led your Chen family to glory decades ago has long since passed away, hasn't he" Zhao Tianrong glanced at Chen Yin. "It's been so long, even if he truly came from that Tianyan Palace, that Tianyan Palace probably wouldn't care about his descendants anymore. So, we shouldn't have too much hope."

"Well, I know Chen Yin nodded."

She gave the letter to Chi Long Lou with just a trial attitude, without expecting too much.

...At this point...

"Madam, someone has arrived outside claiming to be looking for one of your servants. " He came forward respectfully and continued.

"Is someone looking for me" Chen Yin wondered, "What's his name"

He only said he was a servant from the Tianyan Palace.

"Tiānyàn Gōng"

Chen Yin and her husband Zhao Tianrong both stood up immediately.

"Today, Tianyan Palace actually sent someone over" Zhao Tianrong couldn't help but be delighted. "Come on, my wife, let's go and have a look."

"Mmm, Chen Yin nodded."

Two people arrived quickly at the front gate of the mansion and also saw people from Tianyan Palace.

The newcomer was clad in a tight-fitting black outfit and had a remarkably youthful face, appearing to be no more than twenty years old.

"Disciple of the Heavenly Flame Palace, Jian Yi!"

Su Xin stood there, looking at the couple who walked out, and said, "May I ask if you are Mrs. Chen Yin"

It was me, Chen Yin, nodding.

"This token, and this letter, were you the one who sent them to the Chi Long Tower" Su Xin took out a token. This token was given to him by people from the Chi Long Tower after he arrived at the Blood Sacrifice Mountains to complete his training mission.

Nodded to Chen Yin again.

"Well then, I have arrived as instructed to help you with the concerns mentioned in your letter," Su Xin said.

"Thank you, Jianyi. Please come in with us," Chen Yin smiled faintly, leading Su Xin into the Zhao residence.

Although they remained polite on the surface, deep down, this couple was somewhat disappointed.

"As expected, the senior from the Chen family has been dead for several decades. It's unlikely that his juniors' requests, concerning something like the Heavenly Flame Palace, would be taken seriously. It's clearly symbolic now, with just a random disciple sent over."

"Just one disciple, and he's so young. How powerful could he possibly be"

Zhao Tianrong let out a long sigh.

Although somewhat disappointed, the couple had not set their hopes too high for that day's visit to Yan Gong.

Inside the Zhao family, this couple also met another person, who was Zhao Tianrong's elder brother, Zhao Tiand.

"Big brother Zhao Tianrong spoke first,"

"Tianrong, who is this person behind you" Zhao Tiandé glanced at Su Xin who was following behind.

"Oh, this is Zhao Tianrong, a helper Xia Yin brought from Tiangyan Palace,"

"Tiān Yàn Gōng" Zhao Tiān Dé's expression flickered.

He too didn't know about the Tianyan Palace, but judging by its name, it sounded like a sect. Zhao Tiandé couldn't help but glance at Su Xin again.

"Sea-Crushing Realm" Zhao Tiande frowned, immediately losing interest. "Tianrong, since he's a guest, why don't you take him down to rest first"

Zhao Tianrong and his wife led Su Xin toward the guest rooms, while Zhao Tiande went to the main hall of the Zhao family.

The current head of the Zhao family, that is, the father of Zhao Tiande and Zhao Tianrong brothers, Zhao Qingshan was sitting there.

"Father, good news! Mr. Jiuyun has accepted our Zhao family's invitation and is on his way now. He will arrive at my Zhao residence tonight," Zhao Tiande said with excitement.

“Really” Zhao QingShan was overjoyed instantly. “That’s fantastic! This Master Jiu Yun, not only is he respected and esteemed, but he also has a great reputation and influence throughout the surrounding areas of the Blood Sacrifice Mountains. Most importantly, his own strength is extremely powerful. Among those in the Broken Void Mid-Stage, he's definitely one of the top!”

With him in my Zhao family, that day the Fire Mercenary Group would definitely not dare to be arrogant. As for talking about exterminating my entire Zhao family, that was simply a joke.

"Yes, with Master Jiuyun here, my Zhao family is worry-free!" Zhao Tiande also smiled.

These days, with the threat of the Tianhuo Mercenary Group looming over them, the father and son were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, constantly trying to find ways to invite powerful individuals to help.

Over the next few days, despite inviting several powerful individuals to Zhao's residence, it was still insufficient to counter the Fire Mercenary Group from that day.

Until now, knowing that Mr. Jiuyun had also agreed to the invitation, the two of them finally felt relieved.

"Tian De, we have to thank Yu Wan and Zhao Qing Shan for this," said Dao.

Yu Wan is Zhao Tiande's wife.

“Well, Zhao Tiande emphasized, “Fortunately, Yu Wan's family has a close relationship with Mr. Jiuyun. It was her family who made connections and asked him to help. Otherwise, based on the conditions offered by my Zhao family alone, Mr. Jiuyun probably wouldn't even bother looking at them.

"By the way, what about Chen Yin" Zhao Qing Shan asked. "Her Chen family, after all, was once glorious and had some foundation. Now that my Zhao family is in danger, shouldn't her Chen family lend a hand"

"As for my siblings, the Chen family has long since fallen. What help could they possibly offer I just saw that my younger sister brought in an assistant, but it turned out to be a mere Zhao Tiande at the Sea-Melting Realm."

"The Chen family, what a bunch of useless good-for-nothings! Zhao Qing Shan instantly felt a surge of anger and shouted: "Chen Yin, that woman is a jinx! Ever since she married into our Zhao family, our family has gone from bad to worse. This time, she even provoked the Tianhuo Mercenary Group, putting our entire family in mortal danger! Yet, she and her family, the Chens, haven't offered any help whatsoever."

"If only I had known this beforehand, no matter what, I shouldn't have let this woman marry into my Zhao family."

Zhao Qing Shan drank and cursed, he was very realistic.

……

The Zhao family home, with a guest room door in front.

"Mr. Jianyi, these days our Zhao family has had many guests, and the guest rooms are not big enough. I'm sorry to ask you to temporarily stay here," Chen Yin said, and beside her, Zhao Tianrong also had a hint of apology on his face.

They were still very friendly to Su Xin, after all, Su Xin was the one they invited to help their family through a difficult time.

Whether strong or weak in skill, they are all guests.

Su Xin entered the room and glanced around.

This room is small and simple, but it's still clean.

"No problem, I'll stay here. Su Xin doesn't really have any requirements for the living environment."

"Well then, Master should get some rest. If there's anything you need, just tell the servants," Chen Yin smiled. The couple soon left.

Su Xinzhe closed the door and sat alone on the bed.

"This Mrs. Chen Yin, she herself wrote to me, the Tianyan Palace, for help, but she doesn't even know about the origins of the Tianyan Palace And this Zhao family, at least they are a prominent clan, yet they know nothing about the Tianyan Palace either" Su Xin looked strangely at them.

Tianyan Palace, as the first cultivation holy land of the Tianyan Dynasty, is very famous!

In theory, anyone with some knowledge or who is a genius or powerful individual should have heard of it.

But not many people in the Zhao family knew this, at least Zhao Tianrong and his elder brother Zhao Tiandé didn't know.

"Perhaps it has something to do with the geographical location of this Zhao family," Su Xin mused silently.

Zhao's family lived in Dongyue City, which was located on the outskirts of the Blood Sacrifice Mountains. Although it belonged to the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty, it was independent of the Thirty-Six States. There wasn't even a branch of the Red Dragon Tower here; one had to travel hundreds of miles to another county city to find one.

Shaking his head, Su Xin took out the scroll of the first stage trial mission and opened it.

"Phase One Mission..."

"Background: Mrs. Chen Yin, the wife of the second son of the Zhao family, hails from the Chen family. Her ancestors were disciples of Tianyan Palace and made significant contributions to it. After the death of this ancestor, although the Chen family lost the protection of Tianyan Palace, the palace left the Chen family with a talisman representing one opportunity for them to intervene. A few days ago, Mrs. Chen Yin sent someone to deliver the talisman, requesting Tianyan Palace to take action.

"

"Mission objective: Fulfill Chen Yinxin's request, resolve the Tianhuo Mercenary Group crisis for the Zhao family, and ensure their safety."

"Mission reward: Five thousand fire points!"
